Day 8 – Mayday! Pilot in trouble

June 1, 2007

Okay, today’s Flylady step is really “Get a 3 Ring Binder and Put Paper In It.” But for me, it’s really all about trying not to crash. I haven’t been home a lot this week and it’s showing. Plus it’s been really hot. I’m not a fan of the heat in any way, shape, or form. We don’t have Central Air so some areas of the house are pretty dreadful. To top it off, A. gets scared every time the big window air conditioner comes on. So I’ve also been spending a lot of time dropping what I’m doing to cuddle and comfort.

Still, I have written the following routines into a notebook:

Morning Routine– Get up and get dressed to lace up shoes– Get the babies up and dressed and downstairs for breakfast– Read 2 minutes of reminders (aka – check email) while babies eat breakfast.

I have to have a naptime routine because there are a lot of things that I don’t have time for in the morning. Tomorrow is Friday (yay!) and we have no plans (double yay!!) so hopefully I can get back into decluttering, catch up on email, and keep flying.

Ok, so the mail? It has dreams of TAKING OVER my house. Or at least my piano bench. But see, here’s the thing. Most of it is “bills” but that are already paid through automatic withdrawl. So we never quite know what to do with them. I know, file them. Gaaa. Not only is that boring, but if I spent my free time filing, then I wouldn’t have time to get on the internet… =)
